The event was hosted by Medienanstalt Berlin Brandenburg. Eight teams formed up whose hacks were evaluated by a select jury with judges from Arte, Microsoft, Vast Media, Google and the Institute for Internet & Society. APIs were provided by Microsoft, Tweek, watchmi, Arte, Brahms and FIcontent.

Le Connaisseur

Our Content Discovery API was exploited by the team developing the HbbTV app "Le Connaisseur". The app lets viewers rate shows they like and receive recommendations for similar content via pressing the red button on the tv remote control. Le Connaisseur is used while watching TV, so it also enables the viewer to turn directly to a recommended show playing on another TV channel. The code is public at Github.
